Ulaanbaatar
Artificial Lake Park Planned Near Nogoon Nuur
Society
Ulaanbaatar, October 23, 2025 /MONTSAME/. Chief Architect of Ulaanbaatar city, Tugsdelger
Chinbat, and city officials visited the area around Nogoon Nuur in Sukhbaatar
District’s 9th khoroo to review plans for new green space development.
“Population
growth in the 9th, 10th, and 11th khoroos of Sukhbaatar District has created a
new residential zone, but access to green spaces, schools, and kindergartens
remains limited. Under the ‘20-Minute City’ concept, we are working to create a
more accessible and livable environment. As part of this, we plan to clear a
4.5-hectare area near Nogoon Nuur and establish a public park featuring an
artificial lake,” Tugsdelger noted.
The
Chief Architect added that 85 land plots are affected by the project, of which
around 40 have already been cleared. “Studies show that wetland soil releases
twice as much oxygen as forested areas. Since the Nogoon Nuur area has marshy
soil, it is highly suitable for developing an artificial lake and green park.”
City
officials also announced plans to build small neighborhood parks with green
spaces in 51 locations across Ulaanbaatar. Architectural planning has been
approved for 34 of these sites, which are now in the design phase.
Additionally,
to promote urban tourism, the city is developing a walking route within a 1.5-2
km radius connecting Gandantegchinlin Monastery, the State Department Store,
the Chinggis Khaan National Museum, the Urt Tsagaan Park, and the future Nogoon
Nuur Park.
